There’s a scene in The Voice of Hind Rajab where Omar shows the feed on his social media full of broken children and asks if it made a difference. It’s a moment of emotional and moral collapse for Omar.
The question cuts to the heart of the film’s theme: Why does witnessing horror fail to provoke action?
In the past 1000 days, we’ve been to a dimension where there were no words, because we had never known the depth of cruelty to which we bore witness. We were literally stunned.
The Israel Exposed archive of Israel’s war crimes contains 10,749 videos and 10, 915 photos of atrocities so vile our words stuck in our throats like door stoppers.
Words make us human. But something inside dies every time we see a man raped with a knife or a child run over with a bulldozer.
Some words rip your heart out of your chest.
My sister Aylan in Gaza found a dying fledgling bird and nursed it lovingly until it passed. Then she asked her mum, “Can you cook it for me?” She was starving.
Children don’t have the power of words, so their suffering is greater because they cannot put a name to what is being done to them.
Words in the hands of the devils are weapons. One cohort had the idea of killing everyone in a city so they could live there.
The lies flew like a swarm of locusts, but were so cunning as to fool or intimidate the majority into not questioning.
You only grieve the innocents murdered because you hate Jews, they say. The founder of Zionism, Herzl, called it ‘propaganda.’ It then became ‘public relations’ and later, ‘hasbara.’ It’s the industry of deception.
The greatest lie of all is in the oxymoron, ‘Western civilisation.’ The rules-based order, international law, UN, and world courts were all lies, as it turned out. Australian ‘values’ is another.
State governments forced laws based on lies to stop pro-Palestinians from using certain words, not because they cause harm but because they transmit truth.
At the Opera House, PM Albanese told the most dangerous lie of all. “Let me be perfectly clear, the Bondi victims were killed because they were Jewish, for no other reason.”
He seem to have now been contradicted where it has now been revealed during the investigations that the Bondi killers were not motivated by their hatred of Jews but radicalised as a result of watching ongoing genocide of Palestinians perpetrated by the Israelis.
The Chabad sent their young to join the genocide in Gaza, or engaged in that other ethnic cleansing, the West Bank and a thousand videos of children in pieces, consigned those bullets in December last year.
People break. We all broke. But perhaps the greatest gift of the Creator may be in the power of love to restore hearts broken into a million shards. Only the unnatural and unloved are unmoved by a million children enduring the endless evil of Zionism.
Liebler helped replace Rudd with Gillard when the former refused to ignore Mossad using forged Australian passports in an assassination.
Albanese has waited his whole life to become PM and lives in constant fear that the Zionist will take it away from him (with just one word, “anti_semitic.”).
But all he is left with is a metaphorical bag full of children’s parts.
